what is the meaning of word ADABRACADABRA?

Question

ihave read this word many times but dont know the meaning

Answer 1

The word is now commonly used as an incantation by stage magicians. In ancient times, however, it was taken much more seriously as an incantation to be used as a cure for fevers and inflammations. The first known mention was in the 2nd century A.D. in a poem called De Medicina Praecepta by Serenus Sammonicus, physician to the Roman emperor Caracalla, who prescribed that the sufferer from the disease wear an amulet containing the word written in the form of an inverted cone:

A B R A C A D A B R A
A B R A C A D A B R
A B R A C A D A B
A B R A C A D A
A B R A C A D
A B R A C A
A B R A C
A B R A
A B R

There is the view that Abracadabra derives from the Hebrew, ha-brachah, meaning "the blessing" (used in this sense as a euphemism for "the curse") and dabra, an Aramaic form of the Hebrew word dever, meaning "pestilence." They point to a similar kabbalistic cure for blindness, in which the name of Shabriri, the demon of blindness, is similarly diminished. Other scholars are skeptical of this origin and claim that the idea of diminishing the power of demons was common throughout the ancient world, and that Abracadabra was simply the name of one such demon.

Answer 2

The word abracadabra is known universally as the "magic word" of stage conjurers. What little is known is that it is a word of ancient origin, used by genuine magicians from about the third century.
The word abracadabra is derived from a Aramaic phrase (Avarah K'Davarah) meaning, "I will create as I speak." (Harry Potter fans might recognize this spelling; however, it is not a curse.) It has appeared in Kabbalistic and Gnostic texts alike.

Used in the second century in Talismans against illness, it was written in an inverted pyramid, removing a letter from each end until only one remained.

Some, including mystic occultist Aleister Crowley, believed the word to be related to the Gnostic God Abraxas. Crowley "corrected" the spelling to Abrahadabra, in order to achieve a particular gematric value.

Answer 3

Ababracadabra is an "incantation"

Several origins are suggested, the most common one is from the ancient hebrew words

abreq and habra which means
(hurl your thunderbolt even unto death)

It is mentioned in Arameic literature (same language Jesus used)

and in Egyptian as well, as a word to use when dispelling disease. (Like those TV ministers who put their handon a cripple and say "DEMON....OUT! OUT!

So in ancient days medicine men said "ABACADABRA !" to cure people.
